A Campaign Approach to Ending the Practice of Prosecuting Youth as Adults
Let's first start by defining the term "campaign." According to Webster's dictionary, a "campaign" is "A connected series of operations designed to bring about a particular result." In addition to being a noun, "campaign" can also be used as a verb such as, "To go on, engage in, or conduct a campaign." The Campaign for Youth Justice uses the term "campaign" as both a noun and a verb. That is, the term "campaign" is in the name of the organization to signify that we are in fact a "campaign" and it is also in the name of the organization as a verb to encourage people to join with us in the effort to end the prosecution of youth in adult court.
